CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) prior order changing the QME specialty was interlocutory, not a final decision. The WCAB granted the Petition for Removal, rescinded the ALJ's order, and returned the case for further proceedings. This action was taken because the original order lacked an adequate evidentiary record and hearing was necessary to establish the basis for any decision. The case will proceed to a hearing to admit evidence and render a proper decision.
